Almost there… one more exam to go…

a little rant…

This is the hardest exam, Biochemistry. I’ve had Monash friends give me a hand sending me their summaries (they finished last week) except I found out that they got a pathways booklet in their exam. YES.. A PRE-MADE CHEAT SHEET – BUT BIGGER. On the other hand we are expected to memorise these pathways. There are 2 more days left to memorize… getting it into the brain is one thing, then being able to get it out of the brain is another thing. I love learning about metabolism, oh yes, but it doesn’t want to come out at appropriate times. For instance:

Exam question: ‘name the hormone responsible for ‘fed’ feeling in the human body’

Answer: errr..

Dinner table: ‘yum.. I love these lollies…’

‘Oh no! Don’t eat that! They probably contain fructose which doesn’t produce leptin, the hormone responsible for you feeling full’

rant finished.
